Salisbury Steak and December Daily Day 8

I totally forgot to take a picture of my salisbury steak before I began eating, so I apologize for the half eaten steak. LOL It was really tasty. If you are not a fan of mushrooms, feel free to omit those. It's still delicious without them.

1. Cook egg noodles according to package directions.2. Gently mix the beef, egg, onion, cracker crumbs, sage, 1/2 tsp salt, and a few shakes of pepper in a large bowl. Divide into 4 equal portions, shape into oval patties about 1/2 inch thick.3. Add 1 Tbsp butter in large skillet. Brown patties about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.4. Add 1 Tbsp to the skillet and cook mushrooms until browned, about 2 minutes. Stir in the Worcestershire. Salt and pepper to taste, scraping up browned bits. Sprinkle in flour and stir. Add 2 1/2 cups hot water and simmer until sauce begins to thicken about 2 minutes. Add the remaining 1 Tbsp butter, swirling to combine.5. Return the patties to the skillet. Simmer until sauce thickens about 4 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley and serve over noodles.

In other news, my Day 8 photos and stories are of my favorite Christmas ornaments. I love the ones that were handmade by the kids or ones that tell a special story.

Matt made this first one in first grade...I treasure the ones I got when I was a full-time classroom teacher. I do miss those days...sometimes. :)

We got this one from someone right after we got married.

Our friends Pete and Kristen sent us this one when Zoey was born...

The first time Jack and I went to Disney together (1995..we are so old), we bought this one...

Matt made this one in Kindergarten. The snowmen were made from his fingerprints.

I plan to make a collage of our ornaments with stories about my favorites.
